Live Licks could have been much better - but I don't (only) blame The Stones.
I read an interview and Mick said that he/they wanted to release only rare songs, but Virgin wanted the warhorses. Mick said that he would have never released an album like Live Licks (in - but the record company wanted it. I think that explains why we got a rather weak album (songs from same venues as Four Flicks, song choice..)
Still, there are some good songs on it. I have to confess that I hardly listen to it, though.
